Morgan Wallen’s I’m the Problem continues to dominate the music scene, securing a remarkable second consecutive week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart (dated June 7). This achievement follows its impressive debut in the top position just a week prior, marking the highest album launch week of the year. During its second week, I’m the Problem garnered a staggering 286,000 equivalent album units in the United States, according to data from Luminate (tracking week ending May 29). In contrast, the album debuted with an outstanding 493,000 units the previous week, showcasing its sustained popularity and strong fan engagement.

With a remarkably low 42% decline in units during its second week, I’m the Problem achieves the smallest second-week percentage drop for an album that debuted at No. 1 in over a year. The last No. 1-debuting album to experience a smaller decrease in its sophomore week was 21 Savage’s American Dream, which appeared on the March 3, 2024 chart with a 41% drop (from 133,000 to 78,000 units). This impressive retention of listeners indicates a solid fanbase and ongoing interest in Wallen’s music, as he continues to capture the attention of both old and new fans alike.

Additionally, Morgan Wallen achieves a career milestone by having three albums in the top 10 simultaneously for the very first time. His latest release, I’m the Problem, is joined by his previous chart-toppers, One Thing at a Time at No. 4 and Dangerous: The Double Album at No. 10. This remarkable achievement showcases Wallen’s dominance in the music industry and his ability to maintain a strong presence across multiple projects, further solidifying his status as a leading figure in contemporary country music.

The Billboard 200 chart serves as a definitive ranking of the most popular albums in the United States for each week, based on a combination of metrics that reflect album consumption. This data is compiled by Luminate and includes equivalent album units, which consist of album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA), and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each equivalent album unit equals one album sale, 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription streams generated by songs from the album. The upcoming June 7, 2025 chart will be fully available on the Billboard website on June 3.

Morgan Wallen’s acclaimed Dangerous: The Double Album ascends from No. 12 to No. 10, earning 30,000 equivalent album units (down less than 1%). This marks a significant milestone for Wallen, as he has three albums in the top 10 concurrently for the very first time. The Dangerous album now joins I’m the Problem (at No. 1) and One Thing at a Time (at No. 4). Wallen becomes the second artist in 2025 to achieve this feat, following Kendrick Lamar, who accomplished a similar milestone after his performance at Super Bowl LIX on February 9. During the February 22-dated chart, Lamar held positions at Nos. 1, 9, and 10 with GNX, DAMN., and good kid, m.A.A.d city respectively.

Morgan Wallen and Kendrick Lamar stand out as the only living male artists to have at least three albums in the top 10 simultaneously since Herb Alpert achieved this with the Tijuana Brass on the December 24, 1966 chart. Alpert had three titles in the top 10 at that time. The most recent overall artist to achieve this milestone was Taylor Swift, who held three albums concurrently in the top 10 on the March 2, 2024 chart. Swift has accomplished this remarkable feat 22 times throughout her career, underscoring her consistent popularity and impact on the music industry.

Before Kendrick Lamar’s achievement, the last male artist or any artist aside from Swift to have at least three albums in the top 10 at the same time was the legendary Prince. Following his passing, he had five titles in the top 10 on the May 14 chart, and on the May 7 chart, he had three albums in that elite ranking. Prince’s death occurred on April 21, 2016, marking a significant loss for the music community and leaving behind a remarkable legacy.
